We know a car accident can happen in an instant, but the injuries and disability that result can last a lifetime. Let our family help your family during this time of need.

Automobile accidents are a leading cause of death in Florida , and for the fist time since 2006 the number of deaths are on the rise. Of course Car accidents not only cause death, but they can also lead to serious injuries including, but not limited to paralysis, amputation, brain injuries, broken limbs, and herniated discs.

Drivers have a duty to operate their motor vehicles in a safe manner. If they breach that duty they will be liable for property damage, economic damages, and bodily injury “proximately caused” by their negligence.

Common causes of car accidents are:

• Driving while intoxicated
• Violations of basic traffic and safety laws
• Refusal to adapt driving behavior to road conditions
• Unsafe lane change or intersection crossing
• Refusing to slow down or yield right of way
• Drag racing or speeding on public roads
• Falling asleep at the wheel
• Talking or texting while driving
• Driving while otherwise distracted

If you've been in a car accident, you will certainly have a lot of questions:

• Will you get compensation for your Injuries?
• Will you be able to get the medical care you need?
• When — and how — will your medical bills get paid?
• What if you can't work? What if you can never do the work you used to do again?

The answers to some of those questions changed effective January 1, 2013, with the changes to Florida's No Fault Law. Florida Law requires owners of motor vehicles registered in Florida to maintain PIP Insurance. This insurance is commonly referred to as No-Fault insurance, and serves to pay for medical care caused by a car accident. The changes to the law effective January 1, 2013 are:

1. An individual must seek initial medical services and care within 14 days after a motor vehicle accident in order to qualify for any benefits.
2. PIP will cover up to $10,000 in benefits only if the determination is made that the patient had an"Emergency Medical Condition". Otherwise benefits may be limited to $2,500.
3. Only a Medical Doctor or other qualified specialists can make the determination that the patient had an "Emergency Medical Condition".

The one thing that has not changed is that you don't have to face this difficult time alone. At The Law Offices of Mark A. Kaire, P.A., we stand up for the rights of car accident victims and their families. Our goal is to ensure you get full and fair compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other expenses and that you receive the medical care you need to recover from your car accident injuries.
